for new followers, I make SMT-like designs, mostly focusing on youkais JP and buddhistlore though, but it'll branch off to other countries like CN and others
I wanna focus on the obscure lore of these creatures most of the time

I had a fun time appreciating all these design elements. Although this style may not be familiar for western audience, they actually all go well together.
For me, to drive this style home, the most fitting pose is of course derived from the Nio (temple guardian) buddhism statues.
The body ornaments and the elaborate hair bun reminds me of various buddhism sculptures and paintings from the Tang dynasty.
Lots of such sculptures are found along the silk road (especially Dunhuang), which are dessert areas (west of China). Super fitting for the Gerudo dessert.

3.Luo Ji 螺髻
Luo Ji was originally a Buddhist hair bun, but later people began to imitate the characteristics of this hairstyle.
Because the shape is similar to a conch shell, so it was named Luo Ji.
Luo Ji can be divided into single Luo Ji 单螺髻 and double Luo Ji 双螺髻.
Daikokuten: The Japanese deity of fortune and wealth. Daikokuten originated from Mahākāla (buddhist version of the Hindu deity Shiva).

Gm friends. Both menacing and fun. I love this type of visual paradox in art. In some schools of Tibetan Buddhism the archetype of a great sage is not limited to a serene, peaceful and pious monk. There are also stories of beings behaving in crazy ways blurring the boundary… https://t.co/CCnXoJxJFQ
Ryu, an ai of Silver, is based off of ryūō dragons. They’re dragon kings that gave up being evil and now follow the teachings of Buddhism. Humans can reach spiritual enlightenment learning from them.

*During the Joseon Dynasty, blind people were thought to be able to convey the sound of the earth and sky clearly, and they were even hired as 'dokgyeongsa' to read the Buddhist scriptures.
Buddhism is practiced by millions of people around the world, primarily in Asia but also in Western countries. ☸️
